Would not forcing banks to end run lending standards be a violation of the dodd frank bill? Seems to me extorting someone to do a crime is a law violation....ah forgive me, forgot who would be prosecuting it.

“...the DOJ has ordered banks to advertise that minorities cannot be turned down for a loan “because they receive public aid, such as unemployment benefits, welfare payments or food stamps.”

The final nail in America’s coffin.

Comrade 0bama has kept good his promise to destroy our country.

Same old game the Democrats played since the 70’s with the CRA that fed the Community Organizers their protection to operate, and extort the mortgage industry, and Clinton kicked into high gear in the 90’s that put us, “H” not just us, but the World into the dumpster in 2007-8.

They crashed our economy, and now they want to put a foot onto the neck of any recovery to keep our economy down, and thoroughly crashed for the purpose of instilling their Socialist NWO.

Such B.S. - this is EXACTLY the kind of lending behavior that got us in the 2008 finanical meltdown. And now he wants to FORCE banks to do it again?

This seem like nothing more than a last gasp effort at massive redistribution from a FAILED presidency before they are sent to the dustbin of history.

Article should have also mentioned the 5% ‘vig’ these banks must pay on top oftheir markdowns, etc. Swarms of auditors descend even smaller banks, sometimes for as long as 1 month.

Putting these banks on ‘the list’ with their ‘letters’ also means the auditorrs get to come back.

So even under Bush and an R congress they could not/would not stop the CRA in full swing for his entire 8 years, who is going to correct this new CRA if/when a R President gets elected? The first four years will be cleaning out the commies and corruption in DC, do they have the cajones?

Ping! Unreal... They’re baaack!

Have you seen this report yet? I must be behind the curve on this. Initial reports came out in early July.

Article links to two others, one by Thomas Lifson in American Thinker, July 9th (which quotes an IBD article by Paul Sperry.

In other words, the DOJ is forcing banks to make loans to people that they know don't qualify for them and likely won't be able to afford to repay them, which is precisely the kind of failed public policy that precipitated the financial collapse and recession in 2008.

Sounds like they are setting up another housing bubble that will probably collapse under the next administration.

The Ovomitons are like the flesh-eating ghouls from The Night of the Living Dead.

You beat them back---but they keep on coming---looking for new flesh to gnaw on.

You mean like the 106th Congress when 10 Republican Senators voted to acquit Bill Clinton who had been impeached by the House on the charge of perjury. There was enough evidence for the Arkansas Supreme Court's Committee on Professional Conduct to fin him $25,000 and disbar him.

No! Don't ever expect the Congressional Club to harm one of their own. We have to remember that Congress is run by scum like Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank.
